Why so Serious?

I don't know about aperture

I use cs6, I would assume same in cs5

edit--->color settings---->in the drop down box under working space put sRGB blahblhaa stuff. and check the boxes as you want, i have mine set to convert to working space when it detects a mismatch.

Thanks. I think that I also found a setting in my camera that I think should change it.

SRGB is normally used for WEB viewing.... for printing ADOBE RGB is commonly used. Most editing is also done in ADOBE RGB (since it is normally done for printing). It is usually recommended that you set your camera to ADOBE.. but if you are only going to use the shots for WEB, go for it.

I think ya got that backwards man. sRGB is used for web and printing. The company I use for printing recommended using such. I think KmH ( he put a blurb in the one I linked, but I saw one from him somewhere with more detail) put up a post in a thread somewhere, i'll try to find it.

*edit*

there is some great info in here if you like to read. There are other threads too involving this stuff. My undertanding is to edit in adobe rgb and convert for sharing and printing, unless your lab wants otherwise. The one I use wants srgb, and I think...and could be wrong, that most do.

sRGB - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_RGB_color_space

quote "As the recommended color space for the Internet, sRGB should be used for editing and saving all images intended for publication to the World Wide Web"

quote " Images intended for professional printing via a fully color-managed workflow, e.g. prepress output, sometimes use another color space such as Adobe RGB (1998), which allows for a wider gamut. If such images are to be used on the Internet they may be converted to sRGB using color management tools that are usually included with software that works in these other color spaces."

The Lab I use requires ADOBE RGB... as they use high quality professional printers.... Most home printers (and lower end printers) are usually setup for SRGB. It is true that sRGB will be assumed to be a default for any image that lacks a Color Profile... and some people do prefer to work in it, especially if they mostly just post to the WEB. I do believe most Professsionals (and most Professional Labs) use Adobe RGB for Printing at least.. and most also use it on their Displays, so they have an accurate idea of what the print will look like. Most Professional Photographers sell PRINTS, not WEB images... hence Adobe!

I switched my camera mode from sRGB to Adobe. In the help menu it said that this mode was preferred for editing so that is what I went with.

I got my info from other reads. Obviously using words like "most", "usually", etc. etc. I could quote and list lots of quotes but it's not worth the effort.

adobe rgb is bette quality, that's not at question. neither the OP or I am pros, and we share our stuff mostly on the web while learning.

I re read the stuff from my lab and I missed the "or" when skimming through and since I didn't really know the difference at the time, I selected sRGB as it was recomened "if you are unsure...pick this" lol.

Ignorance can be and usually is inherited afterall, so I probly got some bad advice from another read or just mis understood what I was reading. I truly thought srgb was the standard and adobe rgb was what pros used.

Not a problem.. I am glad I was able to assist in the learning process! That is what we are here for, after all!

Well, I don't want to give out bad or incorrect information, so I'm glad you chimed in to clear it up. ;-)
